This addresses for the next Live CD preview the following reported
issues

 	97 Prompt (PS1) should be customized
 	205 manpath should be set to include all installed man directories
 	339 /usr/X11/bin should be in default $PATH

Note that the changes in question simply affect the default .bashrc
file uses by the Live CD user, "jack", as well as the user account
defined during the installation process.  It does *not* (for better or
for worse) change the defaults for all users.

The intent of the changes is to provide a reasonable set of defaults
and will undoubtedly *not* make every one happy.  In particular, the
prompt change matches what Ubuntu has and is very similar to the new
user shell default used by MacOS X and Fedora too.

With respect to bug 205, I expect in the coming months that the need
for this change will be superceded by the "manwhich" changes that Mike
Gerdts has been working on.
